Don’t worry, I haven’t completely stopped writing them, I’m just tightening up a few things.

I’m old-school and I like to thank people who provide useful resources, knowing the time, energy and IP often needed to create them. With this in mind, I often include a prompt within my articles, like:

“If you’ve found this article helpful, consider shouting me a drink using the donate button in the footer.”

The problem is, despite the thousands who utilise them, including for commercial purposes which is prohibited, few ever even say thanks, let alone make a small contribution.

Investing time into creating content that helps my competitors yet generates no revenue, isn’t a great business idea. For this reason, I’ll stick to my regular content that most readers enjoy and that brings in a little business at the same time.
